I create personalized nutrition and wellness programs for women. I have helped women lose weight, create hormonal balance to help with PMS, fertility and menopause and have supported many women experiencing thyroid issues.
The women I have supported not only gain health and wellness guidance but also feel empowered, beautiful and confident in their bodies. I hope these client stories will inspire you to make you and your health a priority.
Weight Loss
When I started working with Katie I was at a low. I was drinking 5+ cups of coffee a day to stay awake and felt like I was in a “fog.” Katie took the time to discuss my health with me and came up with some easy solutions. After just a week, I was down to 1 cup of coffee a day, and felt more alert and cheerful. Katie provides some great tools, and is not pushy. In the past, I have tried diets with a lot of “rules.” Katie’s plan is not a diet, and you can take it at your own pace, adopting new habits over time, which makes them easier to put into place. I’m feeling better about myself. I am amazed at how much more energy I have, just by making the switches you suggested for my morning, stuff I used to want to put sugar on actually tastes sweet without it. I haven’t stepped on a scale, but I can tell I have lost weight. ~ Mary Parent
Before I worked with Katie I was experiencing low energy and eating things not right for my body and hormones. With Katie’s support I no longer have doubts that losing weight is possible (I’ve already lost over ten pounds) and I feel that I’m finally on the right track to lose the weight and feel my best. ~ Shannon Perin
Katie helped me to eliminate foods that were not nourishing my body and made me feel bloated and tired. Now I eat foods that are healthy, delicious, and make me feel energized. Since working with Katie I have lost 30 pounds and counting. ~ Donna Gilroy
I was recommended working with Katie by my OBGYN prior to giving birth. I had gained over 60lbs during my pregnancy and I needed a mindset shift to get back on track with my nutrition. I am beyond grateful for being referred to Katie, as she opened my eyes to a lot about nutrition that I didn’t know. Katie would look at what I was eating day to day and was able to pin point areas of improvement based on what I was eating and my hormones. Katie helped me learn about what foods I need to add in order to feel more fulfilled and have more energy. I started paying attention to the different food groups and increasing my protein intake. I noticed soon enough that I wasn’t craving my nighttime sweets that I always did. Katie helped so much in my nutritional journey. She helped me improve my relationship with food as well as learning how to make cooking more fun. After working with Katie, I see every meal and snack I eat, as an opportunity to feed myself more fuel to conquer my goals. If you need that mindset and push to get started, Working with Katie will get you there. I honestly never write reviews, but I had to for Katie because I cannot thank her enough. Thank you Katie! You’re the best ~ Erin Talbot
I learned the health is much more than the inches around my waist line. I learned to give myself grace and self care. My depression, anxiety is so much better now making life easier and more enjoyable. Learning valuable information about nutrition and lifestyle changes will continue to help me through out the next year as I continue to work on my goals. Im so grateful for this opportunity and excited to see where things go from here! ~ Amanda Dumouchelle
Nutrition For Pregnancy
I have worked with Katie three times now, for different reasons- and each time she has helped me tremendously! Most recently, I was really struggling postpartum with my second baby. Instead of losing baby weight, I was gaining. I was tired ALL THE TIME. I felt so unlike myself and I didn’t know where to start to get myself back on track. It was very different from my first pregnancy. Together with Katie and my doctor, we identified the source of the imbalances. We worked on strategies to balance my blood sugar, support my adrenals- which were totally burned out, improve my sleep, and manage my stress better. She is so supportive and really listens without judgement. I am so happy to share that since we started working together at the end of January I have lost 15lbs, I have way more energy, my digestion has significantly improved, and I finally feel like myself again. I wake up every morning grateful for her support. ~ Bridget Sweeney
I’ve worked with Katie on managing my fatigue and cycle through my diet as well as preparing my body for pregnancy. After becoming pregnant we switched the focus on each trimester, what to expect and what my body needs through each stage.
Katie is extremely knowledgeable and so easy to talk to. I love her holistic approach and advice outside of what my doctor offered. Katie helped me identify specific aspects about my body and what I specifically needed to help my pregnancy. For example, my body needed certain prenatal vitamins that included Folate instead of Folic Acid since we identified that my body can’t break down folic acid and can actually provide a risk to my pregnancy.
Katie offers fantastic guidance and suggestions to improve hormone balance and ways of achieving your goals. She has helped me feel great with a healthy pregnancy so far. I would recommend Katie to friends and family. I definitely believe she helped set me up for a successful pregnancy! ~ Danielle Dunbar
I contacted Katie six weeks after the birth of my first child to work on my energy levels, eating habits, and how to be healthier overall. After our first chat, I immediately felt comfortable discussing my health and how I was feeling with her. Twelve weeks later-after following her advice and tips on how to live a healthier lifestyle-so many positive changes have occurred: I have so much more energy (which is so important with a five-month old!), I drink less soda, I’ve learned the importance of certain nutrients and what to eat to get them, my menstrual cycle is so much easier to deal with, and most importantly, no more restless leg syndrome! Overall, I enjoyed my time with Katie immensely. She was so supportive and made herself available via e-mail and telephone if I had any questions or concerns. Even my boyfriend noticed I seemed happier after our sessions. I will be contacting for when I am ready for baby no. 2! ~ Lauren Smith
Before I worked with Katie, I experienced infertility, lack of menstrual regular periods, fatigue, hair loss, brain fog, miscarriage, and feeling hopeless and angry that my body (specifically thyroid and reproductive system) was “failing me.” With Katie’s support, I learned how to make changes in the areas I could control while continuing to work with my doctors. I learned how to focus on what I could do and trust the process. She walked with me through getting a period back, getting pregnant, early pregnancy anxiety after loss, pretty severe nausea and fatigue while pregnant, and prep for later pregnancy and postpartum (soon to come)! I’m so grateful for the knowledge, support, and accountability she provided. ~ Anne Marie Lovering
Before working with Katie I was very stressed about what to eat during pregnancy and how best to take care of my growing baby. She provided a ton of information on the nutrients I needed to be incorporating, recipes for easy/healthy meals and calmed me when I was overwhelmed with morning sickness, aches and other first trimester pain. She had a solution for any issue I was having and it was really helpful to have her throughout this time. I highly recommend her to anyone expecting or anyone who could use some help with attaining a healthier lifestyle! ~ Lexi Cassidy
I originally reached out to Katie because I knew I was mentally struggling and felt far from my true self. Intellectually I knew what I needed to do to break out of it, but I was frustrated because I couldn’t seem to take action and do it. Katie intuitively knows how to show up in the exact way her clients need. I went from struggling with pregnancy and feeling like a shell of myself, to being happy and back in control of my life with small suggestions that were added each week. She is so easy to work with and I will definitely look her up in the future with any needs! ~ Tina VanMatre
Through my work with Katie I have felt supported and encouraged throughout my pregnancy. She has helped me to maintain a healthy lifestyle and focus on myself throughout all of the changes going on with my body. I felt more in balance with my hormones and found ways to nourish my body in ways that it needed throughout my pregnancy. I have felt really strong and healthy throughout my pregnancy and couldn’t have done it with all of Katie’s support and help! ~ Marcy Sigel
“Working with Katie has been great. I went through a long fertility process and am so grateful to have had Katie to talk to. We used food to try to work through the hormone fluctuations brought on by medication. I don’t think my journey with Katie ends here. She helped to educate me and in turn I have become interested in understanding the food industry and how my body reacts to what it ingests. With Katie’s help, I’ve become a better version of myself and I am in control of the relationships I have with others, exercise, food, my skin etc! Plus I now have a healthy baby boy!”~ Cailin Donovan
Katie helped me through my pregnancy so I could stay as healthy as possible. We explored cravings, symptoms, diet imbalances, and psychological aspects. She is very focused on problem solving various symptoms. Her recap emails were helpful and basic food tracking together helped with mindfulness. I loved the science and learning about the nutrition of various foods. ~ Erica Reiner
Hormonal Balance
After I had my son, I thought I just had a new type of cycle. PMS, bad skin and low energy just came with the whole”motherhood package”, right? But while working with Katie I started to incorporate ways to take care of myself back into my lifestyle. Finding a balance in my life, in my choices and in my cycle has made such a huge difference. By finally learning to put myself first, my relationship with my son, my husband and MYSELF flourished. My cycle is better than ever, my skin looks and feels great, my energy is off the charts and I am really proud of myself. Katie’s support made all the difference in this process. ~ Alyssa O’Brien
I was battling with hormonal imbalances that neither I, nor my doctors could explain. Katie infused a new and holistic approach to wellness into my life. After working with Katie, I feel like a whole new person and my latest lab results show that my hormone levels are coming back into alignment. I also have my period every month after not having it for a year. Katie’s encouragement and passion for what she does has completely changed my life. ~ Drisa Carrizo
I no longer deal with any symptoms related to my period. Not only does Katie help you determine what to put in your body, she also approaches this journey from a holistic perspective. I used to get sick a lot, and since working with Katie, I haven’t gotten sick once. I attribute this to changing my diet, eliminating stress, and exercising more. I was also able to embrace a more positive mindset which led to more positive changes and even significant weight loss. I feel really confident in my clothes and in my body and I have the energy and health to accomplish anything. I could go on forever…. ~ Jessica Sheehy
I came to her with major complaints of hormonal imbalance – breakouts, mood swings, anxiety – and she compassionately addressed every issue with super simple changes to my diet and way of being. I am so grateful to Katie! ~ Mary Beth LaRue
Before I worked with Katie, I was feeling down, exhausted, drained, mentally strained, stressed and uninspired. And through our work together I have completely made a 180. I have more energy, I am inspired, I am less tired through out the day, I don’t feel drained physically or mentally and my anxiety and stress level have been significantly reduced. I am a different person and I am so proud of all the work I put in, using Katie’s, brilliant, knowledgeable and compassionate support and advice through it all. Katie is amazing and I absolutely love working with her. ~ Laurie Brucker
“Since I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 14, I have consulted with different doctors and followed several treatments. I called Katie after going to another disappointing doctor appointment. I did not know what else to do. I was very desperate. I started working with Katie and after a couple of months following her advice in regards to diet, exercise, and lowering stress levels, I got my period! I achieved more with Katie in the last 6 months than with any doctor in the past. Katie is very knowledgeable and supportive. I am excited that now I have the formula to continue this journey. I am grateful that Katie was there to lead me to a healthier and happier path.” ~ Pamela Underwood
Before working with Katie, I was experiencing all sorts of PCOS and hormone imbalance symptoms and resorting to prescription medicine for quick fixes. I learned that I was able to reduce and eventually stop all of my symptoms through nutrition. With Katie’s support, I no longer have to take medicine, my cycle is regular for the first time in a while, and I now have the knowledge to support my body with the correct food and nutrients that is best for me. I feel a lot more in control of my health and aware of my body than before, rather than just finding quick solutions to temporarily fix whatever symptom I was experiencing. ~ Kyndall
I have struggled with hypothyroidism for six years and it wasn’t until Katie took the time to go over my blood work and my diet that significant changes were made. Because of Katie, I knew to ask for additional blood panels to be taken and to cut out a variety of inflammatory foods which countered my medication. ~ Carie Trutanich
Before working with Katie I was really struggling with my PCOS, having painful intercourse, very fatigued, bloated and feeling unwell daily. With Katie’s support I feel like I can manage my PCOS with food and exercise and understand how to balance my hormones so much better than before and live a better life overall. ~ Davienne Barkay
Before I worked with Katie I was struggling immensely with hormonal symptoms throughout the entire month, most times it was debilitating. She helped me transition birth controls, find the best options for me, and then implemented certain foods and lifestyle changes to regulate my blood sugar/energy levels and educated me on my hormones and what to be aware of! Now I have not had one hormonal symptom and I now feel in control of my eating, lifestyle, and hormone health! ~Emily Maron
Katie has been wonderful to work with, having someone in my corner felt amazing. There were days I was down and out of it, but Katie was there for me, advising me, checking in to make sure I was ok. Those days I just felt better and better. In the beginning I could not think straight, I was unhappy and felt everything around me was doing this to me. Working with Katie it was working on the inside first to see what me is around, making sure i felt great and was providing my body what it needed. As I realized from our chats and emails it was me who I had to take care of first and I was the top priority, things changed for the better! ~ Sonia Frassetti
Before starting the bootcamp, I thought I had a strong working knowledge of hormones and my diet. But I decided to try it because I could not get rid of regular hormonal acne breakouts. I thought I had tried everything, read every blog post about peri-oral dermatitis, and had succumbed to regular use of antibiotics for it. With Katie’s support, I was able to dig deeper than any doctor or practitioner ever had. I no longer have the breakouts and haven’t taken any medication since the third week of the bootcamp! My skin is flawless! I would recommend this bootcamp for anyone looking for general knowledge, as well as those who need a supportive detective to help with hormone challenges. ~ Carolyn Prien
Before working with Katie, I suffered through terrible anxiety and years of migraines. Thanks to her support, I’ve changed the way I eat and I’m now pretty much migraine free, have a ton more energy and fewer PMS symptoms. She also helped me find different ways to deal with my anxiety. I’ve made so many healthy changes during my time working with Katie – I’m working out regularly now and have taken up meditation. I was even able to give up sugar, which is something I’ve been trying to do for years. One of the things I loved about working with Katie, is that she really took the time to get to know me and design a program that not only worked, but was something that I could stick with long term. She was always willing to listen to my concerns and change things that weren’t working. I felt she really cared about me and the progress I was making. Katie really changed my life and I can’t thank her enough. ~ Rhonda Granger
I used to have horrible cramps and felt very bloated most of the month. I tried Katie’s dietary recommendations, added supplements, added a magnesium tea and now most months my bloating and cramps are gone. If I don’t stay strict with my diet the cramps will come back. ~ Katie Lee
I was experiencing debilitating period cramps every cycle. After working with Katie and making a few small additions to my diet, I didn’t have any cramping my last period. That was huge for me and I’m really excited about keeping this going. Who knew a couple little things could make such a huge difference in my quality of life?! ~ Kelly Hogan
Before I started working with Kate I was experiencing low energy, afternoon slumps and out of control cravings. With Katie’s support, I have been able to curb the cravings, find more energy, and get rid of the afternoon slump. I also noticed a reduction in menstrual symptoms as well as weight loss. ~ Lauren Winer
Before working with Katie I was tired all the time, I didn’t sleep well and always felt sluggish and bloated. She gave me so many tips on self care especially in creating a routine before bed time which helped so much and my sleeping is better. She told me which foods to add to my meals and which to avoid which helped with the bloat. Also adding teas and supplements. I feel so much better after working with Katie for three months. I love that she was a wonderful part of my wellness journey. Will always be grateful to you for teaching me so much! ~ Beatriz Reiner
Before working with Katie I was miserable, grumpy, tired, had bad PMS and cramps. With Katie’s support I am happier, energetic, I have no PMS or cramps and I am more focused on my work. ~ Julie Cardoza
I have gone from an exhausted, stressed, emotional eater, daily diet coke dependent woman with little self confidence to one that knows she can get through the worst of the worst and do it in a graceful way. I am learning to say “no” after 48 years of always saying “yes” to anyone and anything. My mood swings and binge eating are much better controlled since I have been eating to regulate my hormones. Huge differences thanks Katie and I am so grateful! ~ Christine Framstad
Improved Energy, Mood and Nutrition
Before I met Katie as my health coach I never knew what to eat each day, I snacked all day and I had no exercise routine. I was losing my hair from the prescription medicine I was taking and I felt tired all day long with no sleep at night. I used to eat lots of carbs and sugar to get some quick energy and I drank lots of Arnold Palmer’s (lemonade iced teas) and I had migraines quite often. With Katie’s nutrition and wellness coaching, I was able to get an eating plan that gave me energy, got my hair to come back to its normal condition and I started on a daily walking regime that made me feel energized and helped me sleep better. Katie gave me recipes and a specific food plan for me to try and I had the confidence to start cooking as well. ~ Abbie Clarke
It was a great honor to work with Katie. I have attended many of her lunch and learns at PCT and thought it would be great to have her on my team and help me understand better my condition and how my eating, stress and overall mental thoughts effect my autoimmune issues. With Katie’s encouragement I was able to work through the process of bringing things back into my diet to determine how they effected my symptoms, joint pain, stiffness etc. We took things very slow bringing back one food at a time and determining whether there would be any effect. I appreciate her time. Thanks. ~ Veronica Evans
Before I worked with Katie, I struggled with food and digestion, which ultimately affected my physical and mental health. With Katie’s support, I no longer have unregulated digestive issues or no clue on how to eat from day to day. I feel stronger and more confident in how to take care of myself moving forward. ~ Connie Wong
Katie brought an increase of good, pure, natural foods into my life, helping to increase and sustain my energy levels, as well as lessen my sugar cravings. I learned that my diet was missing some essential whole foods, super foods, and greens. When Katie had me consciously eating greens 2-3 times a day, my sugar cravings shifted and my energy levels increased (which is something I really needed to shift!). Thanks to her, my diet is at 80/20: 80 percent is delicious and pure and 20 percent is delicious and decadent! It is a perfect balance for my life. Lastly, I just want to add that Katie is an amazing listener, and very attentive. I really felt so supported the whole time we worked together. Thank you for everything, Katie!” ~ Linda Baffa
Working with Katie gave me the necessary knowledge about my health, making me wiser in how I approached my wellness management. I feel confident in my health and now know how lifestyle and food affects my body. I feel great all around and sure of what I am doing. I value what I learned and know it is for a lifetime. I have also lost some weight, even though that wasn’t my focus, and am feeling healthy in my body. ~ Kaeisha O’Neal
This by far has been one of my best life decisions. Katie is my true hero. She has taught me many valuable healthy lifestyle best practices. Life can easily get in the way and we often do not realize that we neglect ourselves. Through Katie’s guidance and support, I learned the importance of self care. So many beautiful and amazing things have happened to me by a simple paradigm shift. I am very happy to be the new healthier me! Katie’s vibrant energy has truly made a positive influence to my life. ~ Christine Pham
While working with Katie, I learned to incorporate new and more nutritious foods into my diet, such has quinoa and green smoothies. She also gave me healthier recipe options and taught me new cooking strategies. Katie even has healthy dessert choices too! I am happy with the changes I have made so far, and feel like I have the tools I need to maintain healthy eating habits during my recovery from surgery. Thanks Katie!” ~ Melissa Morris
Within weeks of working with Katie, I was practicing yoga regularly, having daily green smoothies and on a road of a balanced lifestyle. Within a few months of working wit Katie, I fulfilled a life long dream of moving to another country. Katie has been a great support both in my health journey as well as my life journey. She has changed my life in ways that I will forever be grateful for. I am living the best life yet and am in love with the person I’ve become after working with her. I am so much more aware of my mind and soul and make daily choices to do what is best for my body” ~ Angela Pham
Before I worked with Katie, I was feeling out of control. I was not eating well and didn’t move my body. With Katie’s support I have learned a lot about myself and am on the road to being a happier, healthier person that feels like she is in tune with her body. I’ve also learned to say no when I need to and now recognize and validate who I am as a person which is helping me make me a priority.~ Dara Kaplan
Prior to working with Katie I was experiencing tons of migraines, thyroid imbalance, digestive issues, high anxiety, and low self confidence. Katie provided me with the tools I needed to support my body and balance it out. She helped me to feel confident in my own skin again, snd my overall health has improved tremendously! I loved my time with Katie! ~ Stacy Barbagallo
Before I worked with Katie I was really concerned about my health. I was feeling very low energy and experiencing faint spells. My body just crashed from stress and poor nutrition. With Katie’s support we really focused on healing my body with food. We were able to get my meals under control to make sure I was getting the right foods in my body that I needed. I was so weak when we began and my main goal was to feel strong again to do the things I love; tennis, golf, & working out! After three months of dedicated work together, I am feeling so strong and energetic! I am so happy to be doing the things I love again and have noticed a motivation boost in my career as well. Thank you Katie for being on this journey with me! ? ~ Cassie Brungarth
Within the first month of working with Katie, I started to experience sleep improvements. Katie’s support also helped me to gain control of my stress and anxiety, something that was taking a toll on all areas of my life. Controlling these areas of my life has helped me to have improved digestion, decreased headaches, better performance at work, a healthier relationship with my boyfriend, and especially a much healthier relationship with myself. I also gained a great amount of nutritional guidance and support with Katie. She helped me to recognize what foods were making me feel bad, unsatisfied, or just overall icky. I cook more, I know what to shop for at the store (and what to avoid), and I feel more confident ordering out in restaurants. At this stage in the game, I have all of the tools I need to be successful. It is now up to me to keep using them! ~ Jourdan Evans
Before I worked with Katie I was very addicted to caffeine, had numerous gastrointestinal issues, and was constantly stressed. Since working with Katie I have quit coffee and energy drinks. I have gotten off of my prescription antacids and learned foods that work well with my body. I have also incorporated stress management techniques and learned to love myself and my life. She is incredibly warm, supportive, and accepting of where you are at on your health journey. She also has great advice and helps set realistic and achievable goals to move you forward. I would highly recommend Katie’s program to anyone struggling with what to eat and how to manage daily stress. Unlike many programs out there, she uses a holistic approach that incorporates body, mind, and spirit. She changed my life! ~ Elyse Parke
When I started working with Katie, I was not sleeping well, had poor energy, and was generally run-down. Katie identified small changes that I could make to my diet, bedtime routine, and relaxation time. Nothing was a big shift, and we added things a little at a time, checking in to see what worked and what didn’t. All of those little changes really added up, and I was feeling better and more like me every time we talked! I’m now feeling like I know I should, lots of energy and sleeping well. Katie’s gentle and caring way of encouraging me to try new things and make these small changes was absolutely perfect for me. Thanks to our time working together, I now have the increased self-awareness to identify when I’m veering off track, and the tools to get me back to where I should be. Thank you Katie! ~ Michelle S
